Samba Gurus, I've got a Solaris box running samba 2.0.7. A couple of users on Windows XP clients are reporting problems saving files from within MS Word, and Wordpad to the samba share, which of course is a mapped drive. They get an error saying "This is not a valid file name".... These XP boxes do have the reg hacks plainpassword.reg and signorseal.reg installed. The work around is to save a file to a local directory and then copy the file over to the samba drive via windows explorer, but that s*cks! Any ideas? this is driving us bananas. Thanks, --Gene ---------------------------------------------------------- Gene.Huft@Seattle.Gov Unix Systems SPU Information Technology City of Seattle 206.233.7833 -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
